Place Your Bets on the LHC
Particle colliding is the new dog racing. Stephen Hawking bet against the LHC discovering the Higgs-Boson, and now you can get in on the action too. More » -

LHC Knocked Out By FutureBird-Caused Power Failure
Someone or something out there doesn't want the Large Hadron Collider to spin up to full speed. Either that, or it's the most complex piece of machinery ever built so kinks are expected. But that's a less fun explanation. More » -

I Don't Like LHC Scientist's Quotes That Start With "If It Does Destroy the World..."
It's good to know that quotes like this—by Dr Paul Jackson, a particle physicist looking for the Higgs boson on the LHC Atlas experiment—come with a context: More » -

LHC First Particle Beams Collision Doesn't Obliterate World, Universe
Hey, we are alive! In the end we didn't need any escape pods: The Large Hadron Collider has smashed two particle beams together for the first time. However, the unknown is still ahead of us, as they ramp things up: More » -

OK, Now I'm Nervous About the Large Hadron Collider
I used to think that nothing would happen with the Large Hadron Collider. I even made fun of the nutters saying it's going to destroy the world. After reading CERN Director for Accelerators's latest statement, I'm not so sure: More » -

Large Hadron Collider Circulating Particle Beams Again
No, it's not going to destroy the world. But the collection of photos of the LHC at the Big Picture is a great reminder that this might be the most impressive piece of machinery humanity has ever built. [Big Picture] -

This Is Simply The Coolest Pop-Up Book We've Seen
It may not overheat in the presence of bread, but this pop-up book has the most accurate paper Large Hadron Collider ever. Figures that a book would make ending the world by firing that bad boy up look fun. More » -

Large Hadron Collider Overheats Due To Dropped Chunk Of Bread
Yesterday the Large Hadron Collider overheated, but it wasn't because of a software error or terrorism. It was because a bird dropped a piece of bread onto some outdoor equipment. More » -

Confirmed: CERN Is Just a Huge Half-Life Level
Plenty of people have given CERN and Half-Life's Black Mesa research facility the This Thing Looks Like That Thing treatment, but this tour of the facility's deepest bowels is just too much. Steam geysers? Endless corridors? Rusty valves? Slime growths? More » -

LHC Roars to Life, Begins Task of Destroying Universe Yet Again
Christ, didn't we kill this thing already? Repairwork on the Large Hadron Collider is making serious progress, with a test run of particle beams already completed. Scientists are hoping to attempt full world-ending experiments next month. More » -

She's Got It Where It Counts, Kid: LHC Hyperdrive Testing a Possibility
Parallels between the Large Hadron Collider and the beloved Millennium Falcon are becoming increasingly clear. Both take a bit of work to get off the ground; both feature rogue agents; and soon both could employ hyperdrive technology. More » -

Large Hadron Collider Scientist by Day, Suspected Al Qaeda Terrorist by Night
Police has arrested a 32-yo physicist at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, linking him to an Al Qaeda terrorist group. Just fraking great. As if we didn't have enough with the morons predicting Apocalypse and the thing failing on its own. More » -

Convincing Your Girlfriend to Put Out on Film Because of the LHC Doomsday Is a Bad Idea
Today we learn that you can get a frigid girl to not only put out, but to do it on film by playing the Large Hadron Collider card. (Baby! No one will see that video since the world is ending!) More » -

The Real Reason the Large Hadron Collider Keeps Getting Delayed
As a part-time physics nerd, I get excited enough just reading Brian Greene books, so I can't even imagine what the mood's like over at the CERN dorms, where this polite advisory was allegedly posted. More » -

Wooden Large Hadron Collider Carries Minimal Risk of World-Ending Black Holes
The real Large Hadron Collider has been a bit of a disappointment to date, so an impatient Russian artist decided to make his own. Out of wood. More » -

Large Hadron Collider's Restart Button To Be Pressed By Tom Hanks
Too good to be true: because his character in Angels and Demons saves the Vatican from being destroyed by antimatter stolen from CERN, Tom Hanks will be flipping the switch to restart the LHC. More » -

Postponed LHC Restart Could Wrestle "God Particle" Discovery From CERN
Scientists are racing to to discover the Higgs boson particle first. That's right – CERN isn't the only one looking, and its Large Hadron Collider might be upstaged by a U.S. accelerator yet. More »
